Premium Gold

I think the club was gunning to get both Beams and May with their two first round draft picks but Brisbane held firm, from this perspective CFC overpaid. If the club was in a position to offer a top 5 first round draft pick and a future top 10, the deal might have got done...

May was a contingency only in case Moore walked. There was never a legitimate chance of gaining May and Beams without sacrificing another key player. Melbourne were always in the box seat once they lost Hogan.

May claimed during that interview on The Trade Table that he basically preferred Melbourne, and why. I feel like once he met with Melbourne, he wanted to go with them. Unless of course he had to say that given they were in a better position to get the deal done, and we never would have.

The Suns wanted to move him on. Cleaned house for players that didn't want to be there. But as stated, they held the power given he was under contract. Bit like Brisbane in a sense.

Yep so he has had an opportunity to see plenty of the footy. One of their most experienced players yet couldn’t finish in the top 10 of their B&F. Scraped in at 9th in 2017. Rory Thompson is a better defender for them.

Give Moore 15 games in defence and you will see how much better he is than May.

Would almost guarantee that's why he said it - he may well have not even had a preference, just wanted to get to Victoria somehow.

His statement that was along the lines of "Melbourne just convinced me more how I would fit in to the side" (I think that's what he said) did not ring true to me because any team he met with could have told him how he would fit into a side as a gun key defender.
